But it's the entry, descent and landing (EDL) that is seizing the focus of Phoenix team members as landing day nears. TRT: 7:19 Center Contact: Guy Webster, 818-354-5011 HQ Contact: Dwayne Brown, 202-358-1726 For more info: www.nasa.gov/phoenix ITEM 2 - STATION CREW DISCUSSES LIFE IN SPACE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA - JSC (NEW) Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 17 Commander Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineers Oleg Kononenko and Garrett Reisman discussed their mission with the Parsipanny, N.J. Daily Record and CNN Radio during a pair of in-flight interviews on May 13, 2008. TRT: 19:10 Super: NASA Center Contact: Rob Navias, 281-483-5111 HQ Contact: Michael Curie, 202-358-4715 For more info: www.nasa.gov/station ITEM 3 - NEW WATER RECLAMATION SYSTEM HEADED FOR DUTY ON INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION - MSFC (REPLAY) International Space Station crews soon will have a new water reclamation system that will recycle wastewater, allowing up to six crew members to live aboard the orbiting laboratory. The latest addition to the station’s life support system departed May 12 from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., headed for Kennedy Space Center, Fla., for final flight preparations. Through a series of chemical treatment processes and filters, the Water Recovery System, or WRS, creates water clean enough to drink from crew urine and perspiration. The new Water Recovery System is the second part of a comprehensive life support system for the station. The first part of the system, the Oxygen Generation System, was launched on space shuttle Discovery in July 2006. The two systems are part of NASA's Regenerative Environmental Control and Life Support System, or ECLSS, for the station. The WRS is scheduled to fly aboard space shuttle Endeavour on STS-126, targeted for later this year.

The test provided an opportunity for the crew and ground teams to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization, emergency training, and a simulated launch countdown. Space shuttle Discovery is targeted to launch on the STS-124 mission to the International Space Station on May 31. The crew members are Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Ken Ham and mission specialists Karen Nyberg, Ron Garan, Mike Fossum, Greg Chamitoff and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.
